On Thursday, March 30, join Edible Baja Arizona and fourteen local craft breweries at Dragoon Brewing Co. for the fifth Baja Brews Tasting Event, featuring beers brewed with local citrus. Every eight weeks, Baja Arizona’s breweries are working with different locally originating ingredients to craft special beers just for the event.

You’ll be able to taste and enjoy fourteen locally produced and citrus-infused beers, talk with the brewers, and learn more about Tucson’s ever-growing craft beer scene—all while supporting the work of these great non-profits! This fifth event features a wide variety of brews and creations made with Arizona's incredible local citrus, such as Blood Oranges, Calamondin Limes, and Ruby Red Grapefruits.

Seis Kitchen and Catering will be at the tasting with their food truck to satiate your hunger with fresh seafood, steak, chicken, and veggie tacos. The tasting event runs from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and you can make your donation in advance by purchasing tickets on our website (bit.ly/bajabrews), or tickets may be purchased on the night of the event at the door, pending availability. Our last tasting event was sold-out, so purchasing tickets in advance is recommended.

Dillinger Brewing CompanyBeer: Citrus WheatTasting notes: Made with local White Sonora Wheat and local citrus fruit for flavor. Garnished with an orange, lime, or lemon.ABV 5.1%, IBU 20

Borderlands Brewing CompanyBeer: Key Lime TartTasting notes: Our take on key lime pie is a slightly sour ale brewed with all the ingredients you’d find in that refreshing pie. It will be tart and slightly sweet from honey, with a green tint and a dry and refreshing finish.ABV 7%

Catalina Brewing CompanyBeer: Orange DreamTasting notes: Another recipe from our “wheat-guy” Eric Fairfield, this traditional American Wheat includes locally sourced BKW White Sonora wheat, a dose of orange zest, and is finished with the light touch of Blood Orange. A perfect blend, providing a slightly-higher ABV to take you to that “Orange Dream,” reminiscent of a long-ago drive down Orange Grove Road in the springtime!ABV 6.1%, IBU 61

Sentinel Peak Brewing CompanyBeer: Backyard Grove Grapefruit IPATasting notes: An American-style IPA made with grapefruits taken directly from our backyard in Northwest Tucson, this beer is sweet and tart with a slight hoppy bitterness that is not overwhelming. It has a very clean finish and remains crisp and refreshing.ABV 6.3%, IBU 65
